Wife says, "Go ahead, get another one."

**ChubRock** · 19th June 09, 02:41 PM

I considered a SportKilt for a few minutes, then remembered the time Jerry spent with me on the phone. Stillwater Kilts is only fifteen miles from my house. Buying local and supporting Jerry is a must. Question is, standard or heavyweight? Wearing to school, out to casual dinners and occasionally to the store to get bread and eggs, etc.

Then a sizing question for the thousands who own these garmets. Navel measures a 51. So it seems a 52" would be too big (and web site says it is adjusted tight) and a 50 might do the trick. Does the 48 adjust well for a 51 tummy?

Your advice please. Standard or Heavyweight?

in my experience Jerrys kilts are sized small, in other words I am a 37 and a 38 is S N U G! hope this helps...

And careful, when my wife says "go ahead and get it..." that does not always mean go ahead and get it

Ain't that the truth!

Fine woman and mother she is. Red-headed green-eyed 75% Irish lass with an eye for kilted men. Ohh the attitude at times, but after 18 +years I know how to tune that guitar. We Scots know how to work with the Irish. Thanks for the advice and warning.

Oh, and she told me as long as I am kilting, she wears the pants in the family! Kilt On!

Then go for it, never deny a Irish lass her orders!

Ooooh... Yeah, no one ever mentioned that to me, yet, and I was about to plunk down my cash... Thanks Dan!

ChubRock: Please let me know how Jerry's kilts fit by size, specifically, whether the kilt-size matches your measured girth... It will probably save me a bunch in return-shipping costs.

I'm feeling the jones; so, the sooner the better ;-)

Oh, and Wool all-the-way, my friend... That's what I'm doing, anyway.

If you can get a Heavyweight in your size I'd go for it. Superior material (wool vs acrylic). While all SWK are good values, I'm not a fan of the acrylic as it tends to pill.

Best regards,

Jake

You beat me to it! That is exactly what I was about to say.

My Nightstalker is 16 oz easy. My saffron shadow is 13, though.

Depends on where you are.... I returned my first "traditional" purchase - a Black Watch - to him when I decided that it wasn't a year-round garment for SoCal. The Weathered Lamont is just as heavy, but I liked it too much not to get it.
